Photochemical sciences research gets worldwide attention, help from undergrad
An article in the journal ChemComm by researchers in Dr. Pavel Anzenbacher’s lab has received international attention. The
report, about a novel approach to detecting dangerous heavy metals in water sources, was a lead story in the journal last
summer. Designated a “hot article,” it continues to be referenced by other sources including, recently, the Royal Society
of Chemists, said Manuel Palacios, a fourth-year doctoral student in photochemical sciences from Venezuela who is the lead
researcher on the project.
“It’s had a lot of impact,” Palacios said. “The article’s reviewers felt it was very important, and its publication was expedited.”
ChemComm specializes in high-quality research across the discipline.
Palacios, Anzenbacher and the rest of the sensor lab of the photochemical sciences team are pleased with the response to the
collaborative work, they say. They are also proud of the participation of then-undergraduate Bethany Hausch, a chemistry major
from Maumee, who spent the summer between her freshman and sophomore years in 2006 working in the lab laying the groundwork
for the project. She is one of very few undergraduates to have had their name among the list of authors on a professionally
published scientific article.
